how to create calm amidst the holiday chaos

We're in that magical and slightly maddening stretch of the year where the calendar is overflowing with holiday parties, celebratory dinners, and family get-togethers.

For the most part it's fun, but sometimes all the activity can leave me feeling frazzled.

In those moments, it's especially important to me that our home feels like a retreat from all the busyness.

Scent is one of my favorite ways to create a calm, restorative atmosphere, so I'm thrilled that Mrs. Meyer's is bringing back my favorite seasonal scents: peppermint, orange clove, and Iowa pine.

I find the peppermint especially soothing during those times where I'm fighting off a holiday-induced tension headache. One sniff is like snuggling up with a warm peppermint mocha! Cheerful orange clove is a great stress reliever, and crisp Iowa pine instantly puts me in the holiday spirit.

Now you can experience the magic of Mrs. Meyer’s for free with this Holiday Set from my friends at Grove Collaborative.

If you are an existing customer, follow this link to get a free set of Grove walnut scrubber sponges. They make tackling holiday pots and pans so much easier!

Remember that old saying, "Stop and smell the roses"? When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I try to practice mindfulness during everyday tasks like doing dishes or washing my hands. Mrs. Meyer's rich, creamy hand and dish soaps make it easy to stay present in the moment, and I love that they're a healthy addition to my home.

This Grove kitchen towel feels like such a treat to use, too. It's perfect for streamlining a busy kitchen, since you can use it to dry dishes, drape it over bread dough while it's rising, and even grab hot cookie sheets out of the oven. It also works like a charm with Mrs. Meyer's multi-surface spray for whisking away messes on the stove or counter.

Another way that I bring order to my home this time of year is by using Grove Collaborative. Grove ships my favorite natural household products like laundry detergent, paper towels, and toothpaste to my doorstep on my schedule. No more rushing around stores and fighting crowds! It really helps me feel organized and on top of things which is essential during the holidays.
